Welcome to My Personal Page

I’m so excited to be participating in the Lupus Research Alliance Washington, DC Walk with Us to Cure Lupus on October 20th, 2018! Each year, the Lupus Research Alliance coordinates this powerful fundraising program where friends, family and colleagues come together in cities across the country for a 5K walkathon to raise awareness and funds for lupus research.

Lupus is a painful autoimmune disease that affects millions worldwide. Lupus can cause a plethora of ailments including kidney failure, central nervous system complications, blood clots, miscarriages, lung failure, heart disease, high blood pressure, vascular problems, and even premature death. Unfortunately, lupus presents many complexities and barriers that have prevented scientists from finding a cure. Because no two cases are the same and its symptoms mimic those of other diseases, the exact cause of lupus is unknown and it is very difficult to diagnose.

But, there is hope. As the largest private sector organization dedicated to advancing lupus research, the Lupus Research Alliance leads the quest to free the world of this autoimmune disease through the power of scientific research. The Lupus Research Alliance has committed $200 million to research, making it the largest private funder of lupus research in the world.

I’m proud to be an active part of this amazing movement to find a cure through the Lupus Research Alliance Walk with Us program! Will you join me and the thousands of others nationwide who are supporting this movement?

I’d love to have you walk beside me, but if you’re unable to attend the Walk on October 20th, you can still have an impact by helping me reach my fundraising goal. Simply click Donate Now or “Make a Gift!” below to make a charitable contribution to my fundraising page.

Whatever you give will go a long way! Since the Lupus Research Alliance Board of Directors covers all fundraising and administrative costs, 100% of your gift will be used to support the most innovative and promising lupus research programs.

Thank you! You support will bring hope to the millions of people worldwide who are suffering from lupus.
